Introducing: Valor

From the cockpit to the halls of command, women in the military have fought, served, and led with courage—pushing the limits, breaking boundaries, and making history. Join us as we dive deep into stories of trailblazing women—like pilot Heather “Lucky” Penney who volunteered to sacrifice herself in order to save lives on 9/11, or La’Shanda Holmes Hawkins who went from foster care to becoming the first black female helicopter pilot in the Coast Guard. Women who have led critical operations, landed damaged airplanes, and paved the way for the next generation of warriors. Hear their stories of adrenaline, precision, and determination—and what it really takes to soar above it all.  Valor is brought to you by e.l.f. Cosmetics. e.l.f. is making the best of beauty accessible to every eye, lip, and face while staying true to their purpose of encouraging self-expression, embodying ethics and empowering others.
